"Dear master, the old fellow doesn't know how to lift up at all. ”

As soon as the goblin disappeared, the tail of the Lind worm quickly swung into Catherine's ear, whispering and complaining.

Catherine's expression was indifferent, as if she didn't care about the old professor's departure. But the tail of the Linde worm suddenly shuddered involuntarily. Soon, its entire body began to tremble slightly.

"The Lord - the man, no, the master - . Please - stop - . The Lindbug's voice became rhythmic and varied in tone.

"Bang" It couldn't support its head, and its head hit the ground hard. Linde's body writhed and slapped the ground as if in great pain.

Ace didn't sit still, and fell directly from Linde's head. He touched his ass and stood up, only to hear the sound of "crackling" in the air and the cool breeze around him. With those sounds, a slender opening suddenly appeared on the ground, and then another, almost all of them fell on either side of As.

Ace didn't dare to move, his eyes swept back and forth, but he didn't see even a shadow. But he knew it was Linde's tail twitching at high speed, but the speed was unexpected.

Ace glanced at Catherine, who was still sitting on the head of the Linde worm. The female mage looked calm, but her slightly shaky body seemed to indicate something. It seems that Catherine is giving Lindworm some kind of punishment. Although Ace didn't know how the female mage did it.

If you change the time and place, Ace will not pity this annoying Linde worm at all. But for now, he was begging Catherine to end her punishment sooner. Because the intimidating tail of the Linde worm is threatening the life of As.

Ace even felt that Linde Worm had deliberately thrown him down and put him within range of the tail's attack.

Sure enough, Linde's little trick seemed to have succeeded. Catherine closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. At the same time, the writhing of the Linde worm also came to an abrupt halt.

The mage opened her eyes again, her expression even more tired than before.

"Lindeworm, since you can't understand the ancient gods, how did you communicate with the gardener before?"

The hard-suffering insect lay on the ground as if it were falling apart, and it couldn't even lift the tip of its tail.

"Don't speak. The Linde worm struggled to lift its tail half a meter above the ground, making a very small sound, "Dear master, I have not spoken to the gardener. I rarely come here, and even when I do, I rarely meet him. The two times I met the gardener, he just looked at me from afar. ”

Ace always felt that Lindworm was not telling the truth, but Catherine seemed to believe what he said, and did not pursue it.

The gardener's palm took a long time to pinch this time, and it was only when Ace crawled back on top of Lindworm's head that the strange palm opened again.

Hey, it's the ears this time, but it's not surprising. White eyes, blue mouth, and shiny black ears. It is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and can also adjust the direction left and right.

"Catherine, won't you say something?" Ace sat beside Catherine, chewing on a silver tendril, "Tell me something, you see he's got his ears up." Or let's let Linde say that they are old acquaintances. ”

"Dear master, I have nothing to say. Linde Worm, who was lying down and resting, was so frightened that he quickly raised his tail, "I'm not good at dealing with people, and it's up to you to decide." ”

Catherine looked at Ass and said, "You have a loud voice, you come and shout." ”

"What am I shouting?" Ace was stunned, "In what words? I don't know any Elven language, ancient god language." ”

"Just say what you say now, and do what I told you. Catherine whispered a few words into Ace's ear as she spoke.

Ace's brow furrowed when he heard this, "You really want me to shout like that?"

Catherine nodded slightly.

Seeing that Catherine was so sure, Ace stood up and stood on top of Lindworm's head. He took a deep breath, put his hands to his lips, and shouted, "We're here to visit a friend, Crickquail, who is imprisoned here. ”

Ace shouted hard twice, and then sat down with some gasp.

"No, I can't catch it. Ace paused and said, "I don't know if the gardener heard." By the way, who is Crick Quayle? I didn't know you had such a friend. ”

"That's the name of the Lord of War. Catherine noticed the gardener's palm squeeze again, "He heard you. Now see what happens next. ”

"Dear master, your wisdom is truly incomparable. Although the Linde Worm brought Catherine back to life, he still managed to swing his tail to Catherine's side, just beside As, "Such a brilliant idea, and only you can think of it, it can be called a model of improvisation." ”

"Oh, Lindeworm, I can't see you're talking more and more fluently. Catherine was very helpful in saying this, "Imprisonment and visitation, so that it is logical. Isn't it a reasonable identity for us to be present in the prison as visitors?"

"Look! The gardener is gone. Ace pointed ahead and shouted. It turned out that the gardener's palm did not open again, but directly retracted into the hole.

"No, that's when the gardener started tidying up the ground. ”

As soon as Lindeworm's words fell, the entire ground was like a pot of boiling hot water, tumbling violently. From time to time, there is a large canopy of fire mud that shoots out from the ground. It's like an invisible hand grabbing a handful of dirt from the ground and throwing it into the sky.

Except for the outer flat area where the Linde worm is located, the inner side passes through the ground where the silver roots are raging, and nothing is spared. The more gaps there are, the more violent the tumbling becomes. Looking at the whole scene, it can be described as a huge and spectacular, but it is quiet.

"It's so vibrant!" Ace couldn't help but sigh as he looked at it. Because the scene in front of him reminded him of the scene of thousands of moles burrowing into the ground in the barren and wide grain fields at night in winter.

The tumbling of the ground lasted a full ten minutes. When calm returns, the area is like a freshly ploughed wheat field, orderly and intertwined.

"Water, squirting. "This gardener is simply a farmer." ”

I saw a hole in the ground drilled by the gardener spewing out a column of water. The water column is powerful and powerful, spraying directly into the sky up to hundreds of meters. And the water that sprayed into the sky didn't fall in the slightest, which was amazing.

The water column sprayed water into the sky, and gradually layers of water mist began to condense in the air at a height of more than 100 meters. These mist condense and gather there to take on a milky white color. As time passed, the color of the mist became darker and darker, and it turned into billowing dark clouds.

This dark cloud is not big or small, but it makes the space suddenly dark. "Click" A bolt of lightning burst out of the dark clouds, and the pouring rain poured down.

Catherine and the others were on the edge of the heavy rain, and the water was pouring in front of them, but there was no water under their feet. Although they are in the same space, it is like a transparent wall in the middle, cutting the world in half at once.

The heavy rain did not last long, and soon it turned into moderate rain, which then turned into light rain, and the light rain slowly subsided. A large amount of white mist floated in the air, and the air was filled with the fresh smell of after the rain.

Catherine couldn't see through the fog into the distance, but she could sense that the water elemental was sinking and sinking into the ground. It is believed that it will not be long before this thick fog will dissipate naturally.

No matter what the gardener used, what was happening in front of her, no matter how miraculous it may seem, was not mysterious in Catherine's eyes.

Natural magic, this is typical natural magic. It's like the natural magic that Lady Vicie used to fight the generals of the Dead Realm. Although such a large cast range is surprising, it is not very rare in Catherine's eyes today. At least in the memory of Boserto Ifer, throughout the ages, powerful beings have emerged one after another. This kind of large-scale magic Lady Visie can't be carried out, but there are many people in history who can easily do this, such as those powerful elven kings.

Could it be that the gardener is an elven king?" Catherine wondered.

But the elves were not like that, and Catherine thought back to the strange behavior of the huge palm, and it was impossible to associate it with the graceful and handsome elves. What's more, there are still those elven kings who have outstanding strength and can even compete with the gods.

The fog gradually receded, and the land seemed to return to the scene it had seen when Catherine had arrived. The ground was flat and clean, slightly wet, as if nothing had happened. The silver pillar still stands silently in the distance, looking down on the earth like a wordless spectator of history looking at the world.

"Lindworm, let's go. Catherine tapped Lindworm's head, "But you can go slower, maybe something will happen." ”

The Lindworm propped up its head, shook its body and began to crawl forward.

"Dear master, do you really want to meet the Great Being?" it asked cautiously.

"Don't you really want me to meet the big guy?"

"Yes, that's what I did. "But I feel uneasy, my dear master. The Being broke the pattern of eating, and something significant was brewing. My instincts tell me that now is not the right time to meet the Being. ”

"Your soul intuition is very good, and you can actually feel it. As you said, there really seems to be a crisis looming. But my gut also told me it was a good opportunity. If we miss it, we may never be able to leave here. Catherine pondered, "And I'm becoming more and more curious now about who the Great Being is. I know more about the underworld than you might think. But such an existence makes me feel incredible. ”

Catherine looked up at the sky, "It's as incredible as this place of captivity. ”

"Listen. As, who was originally half-lying, suddenly sat up straight in vigilance, "Do you hear me?" ”

The Lind worm abruptly stopped, and Ace jumped off its head with a "whoosh".

"In the underground. Ace leaned down and pressed his ear to the ground. After a few seconds, he said, "Sure enough, it was a digging sound, like the digging sound of a mole, I had heard it before." ”
